Forever in My heart

Chapter two: The Mysterious Wolverine

A/N:

Oh my goodness! You guys are the best! I was speechless to see how much attention this story was getting when I woke up this morning!

Thank you to Death to the girl, visionaria48 and lv100magikarp for your reviews! They mean a lot.

Thank you to everyone who favourite and put the story on alert, that is very much appreciated!

I still can't believe it though!

Oh and I apologise for the kinda cheesy title of the story, it was all I could think of at the time haha.

Ok, so here's Chapter two…

Crystal knocked on the professor's door.

"Come in" She heard his familiar voice call from the other side of the wooden door.

She opened it to find the professor reading a book from behind his desk. He placed his book mark in the page and closed the book that lay in front of him. Looking up he smiled.

"You wanted to see me?" She asked, looking around his office. Not much had changed in his office over the last 17 years since she had been here last.

"I just wanted to make sure you were fitting in ok," He replied, answering her question.

She let out a small chuckle. "You didn't need to call me down here to figure that one out," She replied.

"What's up Charlie?" she asked, using the nick name she had given him when she was just a child.

He looked at her with a slight smile forming on then corners of his mouth

"You have no idea how long I have waited for this day to come Crystal, though it may seem selfish I have been waiting years for you to come back. Believe it or not this place needs you." He admitted.

"Thanks Charlie, but I doubt that very much" she replied.

"One of your biggest features is how modest you can be Crystal" He added while wheeling himself around the other side of his desk to be completely in front of her. She went to reply but stopped, knowing that he was right.

"What I wanted to do was ask you if you would like to work on your powers at all?" Charles was straight to the point. "I know it's been years, but I thought that maybe you'd be willing to give it another go?" he was silent as she thought this over. She hadn't expected this, not so soon.

"Well it has been awhile. I guess it wouldn't hurt to try again, learn new things. Count me in," She smiled.

The professor smiled and nodded. He then stated that dinner was ready and that they should make their way towards the dining hall. He took her hand and squeezed it before letting go and wheeling his way towards the door. The two of them made their way down the hall and into the dining room, where they both sat at the staff table and got lost in conversation.

Three weeks later Crystal had settled in well, she knew her students well and the Vet clinic was up and running. She loved teaching something she was so passionate about, yet found it weird; she had never imagined becoming a teacher.

Walking down the main hall with Storm one day they heard student's saying that Logan had returned. Crystal was looking forward to meeting the man she had heard so much about, but had been fore warned of his avoidance of social activity.

The two walked around the corner to see a very well build man with a cigar hanging out of his mouth. Storm made her way towards him to embrace in a quick hug.

"Logan!" she exclaimed as they embraced.

"It's nice to see you Storm," he replied. "I like what you did with your hair, it suites you" he added

Crystal stood back, taking in the man that stood in front of her. The contours of his well-built body could be clearly seen through the flannel check button up shirt and brown leather jacket he wore.

His attention turned to the blonde standing a few metres back and storm introduced them.

"Logan this is Crystal, our newest staff member. Crystal this is Logan, our hero," Storm winked at Logan.

"Pleasure," he stated politely as he held out his hand to shake hers. "And that's enough Storm, I'd say hero is an overstatement" he added quickly.

"The pleasure is mine, I've heard so much about you Logan," She replied back, extending her hand for the shake.

Jean, Scott and Hank then made their way towards Logan. They dropped their hands and the friendly welcomes began, well besides Logan and Scott- there was obviously some tension present, most probably due to a competition for top dog in the mansion.

"Well, I'd better go and freshen up before I see the professor," Logan states, making reference to his dirt stained clothes and messy facial hair. He flung his bag over his shoulder and made his way towards the stairs. Stopping he turns to face the others "It's nice to see you all again," before making his way up the stairs.

Thirty minutes later Crystal sat in the library completing lesson plans for her next few classes, these weren't exactly necessary for the school, but she thought it would be the safest option while she was still getting used to her new job. Planning didn't take long since there were only four students in her class so when she was done she had time for a quick walk before dinner. Crystal liked being outdoors; it was one of the effects from her mutation. She walked along the path beside the well groomed hedges and felt they needed a little more colour. She waved her palm over a section of hedge and the dark green foliage became colourful as small yellow flowers grew out of the hedge.

"Much better," she said to herself, satisfied with her work.

On her way to the dining room she passed Logan in the hall, making his way back towards his room. She noticed that he was in a clean flannel shirt, with the top buttons open, revealing a white singlet and he wore the same brown leather jacket that he was wearing when he arrived. Another thing that she noticed was his freshly washed hair; it was in a distinctive style, kinda spiked up in each side with almost a cowlick hanging off of his face. The slightly overgrown facial hair that had been on his face was gone, now only mutton chops were left, another distinctive feature that she guessed was a part of his trademark look. As they passed he nodded, acknowledging her. She nodded back and made her way into to the dining hall.

A/N ok, so that's chapter two!
I wasn't really sure where to go with the meeting in the Professors office, so I hope it isn't too bad :O

There is a little more about Crystal and her mutation- I will go into it more in the next few chapters- believe me when I say that that's just the start of this girls gift- it is more powerful!

Hope you all liked it and it didn't suck too badly!

Please R&R, constructive criticism is appreciated but please no hate.

Well til next time
